2008 presidential hopefuls launch MySpace profilesÂ
By clicking onto impact.myspace.com, the site’s mostly young users can link to the personal pages or “profiles” of 10 presidential hopefuls.
Democrats Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, John Edwards, Joe Biden, and Dennis Kucinich have set up MySpace profiles. Republicans McCain, Rudolph Giuliani, Duncan Hunter, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul also have pages.
MySpace users will be able to read the candidates’ blogs, see photos and video and, if they choose, link their favorite candidate to their friends list or put a candidate’s ad onto their own pages.
“As the country’s most trafficked Web site, MySpace will play a powerful role in the upcoming election,” Chris DeWolfe, MySpace’s chief executive said in a statement.
